Were not even good enough for any NHRA events....

You mean there aren`t thousands of people spending big money to go to National events to see the " Track Walk". Whats sad is that with declining attendance you know NHRA will start charging the Sportsman racers more "user fees" and higher entry fees to make up for the loss then act like its a privilige to race for them.

It's not just the economy or NHRA. About 5 years ago, I had a chance to sit in on a talk given by the Rte 66 complex administrator. It was disgusting. Guess he didn't realize that there were people in the group he was talking to that were racers and spectators. Trust me, it was all about the $ and what ever they thought the populis could bear. I was so pissed I never went back there. Personally, I hope they choke on their 3$ bottles of water.

I only went because I got a great deal with a groupon ticket. Alot of people dont like Force and say he is a sell out, but he is fun to listen to. Here is some talk from friday.

D H L is the independant co that Kalletta Air runs under i beleieve
D H L was airborne express, back in the day,
DHL is mainley overseas, and carries alot of our equip. supplies
goverment money never runs dry

Wow ...ole CK sure has a huge operation. And YEAH ... DHL bought-out Airborne ....and actually Airborne was better than either Fedex or UPS in the quick-delivery-biz.

this year at Atlanta id say it was %80 or better...it was also hot...but the count didnt look anywhere near as bleak as some of those photos...I also recall thinking that the sat only ticket wasnt to bad...price wise..
cheapst.

I agree with Irun6snd8th, I'm bored with it. I'm 56 years old, been going to and racing my own junk since the late sixties early seventies and I think drag racing has lost it's soul. Bracket racing is boring to watch, the cars are too consistent and predictable ( I know, I know, it's the name of the game)and hard for newbies to understand. So unless I'm racing or going with friends who are I'm staying home. As far as the crap on tv...Every race looks like a rerun of the race before. If you don't own or drive for one of the super teams what real chance do fans have to see something or someone different? My choice is to "watch" it on DRC in about 10 minutes of reading the results.

After they stopped running a full quarter mile, I lost alot of intrest in the nitro class

The last NAT event I went to ....G-ville ... 02 ?

REMEMBER that TF team that had the RAMP TRUCK ? .. They had more "fans" than the Shoe team !
